November 14, 2009-Manny Pacquiao will be seen on the boxing arena again, but not with the much anticipated fight versus Floyd Mayweather Jr. This time, he will be facing Puerto Rico’s most popular boxer, Miguel Cotto.
Miguel Cotto, 29, began his professional career in 2001. On September 11, 2004, he defeated Kelson Pinto for the WBO junior welterweight championship. He defended the title successfully a total of six times, before vacating it when he ascended to the welterweight division. On his first match on this division he defeated Carlos Quintana for the vacant WBA welterweight championship. Cotto successfully defended this title against Oktay Urkal, Zab Judah, Shane Mosley and Alfonso Gómez, before losing it to Antonio Margarito. On February 21, 2009, he defeated Michael Jennings to win the vacant WBO welterweight championship. source: Wikipedia
